To all whom/ it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL LEOPOLD KINs- BRUNER, a citizen of the GermanEmpire, residing at Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Dust-Carts and the Like,(for which I have obtained Letters Patent in Germany, No. 79,862, datedOctober 3, 1893; in France, No. 240,285, dated July 24, 1894; inBelgium, No. 111,182, dated July 30, 1894; in England, No. 14,437, datedJuly 27, 1894, and in Italy, No. 38,211, dated February 19, 1895,) ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to the carts and apparatus for collecting andcarrying off dust, rubbish, house refuse, coal, or other dusty matterand the improvements consist in an arrangement for putting the stuif tobe collected in the receiver without inconvenience from the spreading ofthe dust; further, in

an arrangement for facilitating the raising view in partial sectionthereof.

and tipping over of the box attached to the receiver, and, finally, inthe arrangement of a distributing-rake within the receiver to preventexcessive accumulation of the contents at the place where the stuffenters the receiver.

This invention is represented as applied to a dust-cart in the annexeddrawings, in which Figure 1 shows a longitudinal side view of the cart;Fig. 2, a plan view, and Fig. 3 a rear Fig. 4 repre sents across-section on line 4 4, Fig. 5; Fig. 5, a plan view; Fig. 6, a frontview, partially in section, of the top of the cart on an enlarged scale.Fig. 7 shows a perspective view of the dust-box.

1 is the body of the cart, which forms the receiver for the stuff to becollected, and is'in the ordinary way supported on wheels. The top ofsaid receiver is closed, while its middle portion is provided with anattachment consisting of the two side walls 7 and a bottom formed of twodisplaceable slides 2 2,one above the other. These slides 2 2 are fittedwith axle-bars 5 and 6, respectively, which carry at their extremitiesrollers 3 and 4, respectively, running on the lateral rails 8. Rollers 3and 4, as well as the rails 8, are covered in by boxes 9 9. To the frontedge of each of the slides 2 a Valve-board 10 is hinged, the upper edgeof which carries an axle 11, with rollers 12 on its ends, these rollersrunning on the upper curved edges of the side walls 7. The front surfaceof each of the valve-boards is provided 5 5 with two projections orhooks 14.

Hooks 15 are fixed on the side of the cart attachment for suspending thebox 16, which latter is for that end fitted with a bar 17 of round ironto engage with its extremities in said hooks 15. To this bar 17 aresecured two bars 18 of angle iron running along the side edges of thebox 16, over which bars 18 are slid the angular projections 19 of thecover 20 when the latter is in position. The cover can therefore easilybe displaced in a horizontal direction on box 16, or, if desired,entirely removed. There'is in addition a fiat iron bar 2]. attached tothe top of the cover 20, the object of which will be hereinafterexplained.

In order to raise and tip over the box 16 suspended on the side of thereceiver 1, the following construction has been made: 22 is a hand-leverkeyed onto the axle of a beveled e7 5 cog-wheel 23, carried in a bearingattached to the lower part of the body of the cart. Said cog -wheelengages with another cog -wheel keyed to the axle 25. The extremities ofthe latter carry two arms 26, which are respect- 8o ively united bymeans of bars 27 to two arms 28, movably attached .to the upper portionof the body of the cart. The free ends of said arms 28 are connected bya bar 29. To the lower ends of arms 26 are attached cords or chains 39,Fig. 1, which, passing upwardly over the rollers 40, Fig. 5, that arecarried in bearings secured to the top of the body of the cart, run tothe extremities of axle-bar 5 of the slide 2, where they are connected.

The distributingrake 30 within the receiver is or may be fitted with anumber of prongs 31 of any shape, and as to its required movement isguided on rollers 32 that run in corresponding grooves 33 of U-iron, thelat- 95 ter being arranged along the under side'of the cover 34 of thecart. The manipulation of said rake 30 is effected by means of anendless chain 35 passing over rollers 36 and 37, respectively, the axleof the latter being pro- I00 o replaced.

vided with a manipulating crank or wheel 38 to be operated from the seatof the driver.

The mode of operation and effect of the ar rangement described are asfollows: In order 5 to empty the box 16, it is suspended by the roundiron bar 17 from the hooks of the body of the cart, in which positionits rear wall lies against the bar 29, so that on turning forward thel1and-lever the arms 28 1o will,by means of said connecting-bar 29,raise the box 16, thereby tipping it over, as illustrated on the rightof Fig. As soon as the cover of said box 16 enters into eo-operationwith the valve-board 10 of the slide 2 by 1 5 catching with theprojecting ends of the flatiron bar 21 the hooks ll of the board 10 theslide 2 that closes the receiver is slid back out of its place and thecover 20 of the box 16 removed at the same time, so that the con- 20tents of the latter are free to drop into the receiver thus opened. Onturning backward the hand-lever 22 the arms 26 will resume their initialdownward direction,thereby pull ing the cords or chains 39,whieh connectthe z 5 ends of said arms to the axle 5 of the slide 2,

5 5 and, as on the other hand, 011 returning the box 16 said cover andslide, respectively, rcsume their initial respective positions in thesame manner, the said box may be emptied into the receiver without thepossibility of dust spreading about.

To prevent an excessive accumulation of the dust or rubbish in themiddle portion of the receiver, it is necessary to move thedistributing-rake 30 from time to time backward 4 5 and forward withinsaid receiver by simply turning the hand-crank 38.

These improvements, as described, may equally well be applied tostationary receivers-as, for instance, for the purpose of loadin g coalon ships.

I claim my invention 1. The combination of a receiver a slide adapted toclose the upper part thereof, a box, a sliding cover to said box,adapted to en gage with said slide, means for rotarily suspending saidbox on the edge of said receiver, and means for lifting and tipping thesame over said receiver.

2. The combination of a receiver, a slide adapted to close the upperpart thereof, a valve board connected to said slide, rollers on saidvalve board, guide rails for said rollers, a box, means for rotarilysuspending said box on the edge of said receiver, a sliding cover tosaid box, hooks and lugs adapted to connect said valve board and slidingcover, and means for lifting and tipping said box over said receiver.

The combination of a receiver, a box adapted to be rotarily suspendedtherefrom, covers to said receiver and box adapted to engage each other,alever gear for lifting and tipping said box, and cord orequivalent gearconnecting said lever gear and receiver cover for replacement of thecovers and return of the box.

4. The combination of a receiver, a box rotarily suspended therefrom,lever gear 26, 27, 28, beveled gear 23, 2a, and hand lever 22 forraising and tippin said box.

5. The combinationwith a receiving chamber, of railsplacedlongitudinally therein beneath the roof of said chamber, a crossbar having a number of depending pron gs eonstitutin g a rake supportedby said rails, said rake extending transversely across said chain bcrand means for moving said rake back and forth longitudinally in thechamber for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
